A boiler is a strong container that heats water until it boils. In a steam engine, that hot steam pushes the machine. In a house, a boiler heats water for radiators or for the taps. It is an everyday machine word: , landlords, and people with old heating systems talk about “the boiler” the way other people talk about “the heater.” It is not the small kettle you use for tea, and it is not a cooking pot on the stove. The word is simply boil + -er: the thing that boils. In careful technical talk it stays close to this machine meaning.
